I'll have to get some scores from home. I thought one of my home laptops scored over 300 also, not positive from memory.
-
Same work laptop but now connected via wireless instead of wired LAN. I guess wireless versus wired isn't affecting my score here at work (it definitely does at home).
-
Work laptop. Ungoogled v113. Wired LAN. Win10 Enterprise 21H2 x64. i7-12850HX @ 2.10 GHz. 32 GB RAM.
-
Keyword being "open-source". Ungoogled Chromium does not equal Google Chrome. Just like Serpent 52 does not equal Firefox 52. 321 today, woot woot. Still the BEST quantifiable number until proven otherwise. I like this one because it doesn't only score the browser, but it scores the network also. Kind of like running a browser test and a network speed test with one test. (later tests indicate network does not effect score) I'm still on v113. Have not tested newer yet. If they score lower on Speedometer, then I don't upgrade, that's the way I roll.

This WEI stuff is going to fall flat on its face. And it certainly will NOT be because of Mozilla and their 2.79% market share - https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share Technically, my preferred browser of choice is not "Google Chrome" -

Agreed! Don't get me wrong, I see "both sides". Heck, my daily driver is single-port throttle body injection which is essentially one step up from 1980's carburetor technology which is one step up from a 1930s downdraft carburetor which is essentially one step up from an 1885 Karl Benz wick carburetor. And no, it doesn't have airbags. But the grandpa sitting on the wooden rocker has to acknowledge the hypocrisy of complaining about that single-process pegging at 100% when multi-process technology remedies that complaint.
-
Another way to look at it is this, and here I use the word "you" as an all-encompassing pronoun, not any one or two or three specific people. You are a hypocrite if on one hand you applaud the safety and security that an airbag brings to a modern vehicle but on the other hand shout from the roof top for single-process opposed to multi-process. Vehicle "onboard computers" are extremely complex. Safety circuits on top of safety circuits. Reaction times at split-second precision so that an airbag doesn't explode under false pretense. What kind of world would we live in if the "correct way to advance" was for browsers to remain single-process, televisions to remain Cathode Ray Tube, phones to remain wired to the wall, but then we hand-pick what technologies are allowed to advance as opposed to them kind of ALL advancing ???
-
Bingo! The next time the "typical MSFNer" starts shouting about "single-process being superior", that MSFNer should ask himself, "Am I being a grandpa sitting on the porch yelling at the neighbor kid to GET OFF MY LAWN". Because that's how these single-process comments always sound to me - a rickety old wooden rocking chair with a 90-lb frail grandpa barely able to get the thing to rock.
-
Maybe that is why I am "pro multi-process" - because my very first career job was running moldflow analysis on a UNIX workstation, I remember fork()'ing. Kind of begs the question - why are Unix programmers viewed as ahead of their times when they multi-process'd DECADES AGO but Windows "browser creators" viewed the opposite "in 2023 and beyond" (an MSFN phraseology) and that they should stick with single-process ???

I haven't added up the byte count for this one. Those that have been around for a while have heard me complain about my Water Bill web site - ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY EIGHT SCRIPTS !!! I had to painstakingly block one by one, log out, log back in, rinse and repeat. Many weeks later, I only allow THIRTEEN of those one hundred and sixty eight scripts to do their thing. My water bill site NO LONGER pukes tree-hugger environmentalist crap at me each and every time I log in. Got NOTHING against environmentalist causes, I just want to know how much my water bill is and shouldn't have to parse through "crap" to find it! My water bill web site now basically ONLY shows me how much I owe! I don't need a history chart of my water usage, I don't need to know about the latest environmentalist causes, I just want to pay my water bill. I can no longer "pay" my bill on their web site, I only use it to see how much I owe then I make the payment from my checking account web site. I don't need one hundred and sixty eight scripts, I only "need" THIRTEEN of them (Proxomitron replaces them with a "dummy.js" local file so that the web browser doesn't log the intentional .js block as an "error").
-
Googletagmanager is obviously blocked, surprised I haven't been blocking cdnjs.cloudflare. Correction - I am blocking cloudflare but via uMatrix so that's why Proxomitron's log still shows it. I'm showing 1,860,754 bytes of javascript for the web page we are reading right now. 1.86 megabytes. Could be worse, I don't have Facebook or I'd see how many of megabytes we have there.
-
"Ay, there's the rub." Look at this very MSFN page. Take your shoes off and borrow the hands and feet of another person, you'll need that many "digits" to count how many scripts exist for even this page!
-
If I recall correctly, the only reason we even have multi-process is because of Spectre and Meltdown.
-
That isn't HTML. It's not intended for a web browser. Use an RSS Feed reader and you should be fine.
-
No offense, but ANYBODY that is concientious of "privacy rights" would NEVER have been on Facebook to begin with!

What are you spoofing the user agent to? If you are spoofing it to anything NEWER than Chrome v86, then of course Facebook is going to serve a version that needs a much newer computer/browser to render. And since you don't want the MOBILE version being served, then my hunch is that you need an OLDER user agent. What happens if you spoof Chrome v49 on XP? What happens if you spoof Chrome v49 on Win7? At any rate, spoofing a NEW browser or a NEW operating system should only make matters WORSE as far as what Facebook's servers assume you can render.
-
Web sites are not "developed for multi process" browsers or not. There is no header that the client-end tells the server-end how many processors the client has. There is no "serve this version" for single-process, "serve that version" for multi-process. The closest would probably be mobile layout versus desktop/laptop layout. But that's more of a horizontal resolution issue than a processor-count issue (mobile phones are all single-processor, to the best of my knowledge).

Don't add custom search engines to browsers Chrome-based
NotHereToPlayGames replied to a topic in Web Browsers
Twitter and Facebook are blocked at the router-leve here. I have no use for them and I block them completely. Not sure what you mean by "perform a test". I use Proxomitron and view web pages source code via Proxomitron "debug". If the word "opensearch" exists in the web pages source code, then my above userscript will prevent that "opensearch" from adding a search engine to your custum search engine list. -
Many around here use HTML5 but it also places browsers pretty much in the EXACT SAME ORDER as Speedometer. 360Chrome scoring HIGHER than Serpent 52. Serpent 52 scoring HIGHER than New Moon 28. Again, I want a "number". Not some Placebo Effect "gut feeling".
-
So how do you guys compare one browser to the next as far as performance? I do not like "gut feelings", I want a "number". Yes, I agree, step one is open up your most used web sites and check a "yes" or "no" for that browser on if those web sites even "work" or not. But what about step two? Without it being "gut feeling". I've always maintained that browser selection is always boiled down to PERSONAL PREFERENCE. But how would you guys propose something for a quantifiable MEASUREMENT on PERFORMANCE?
-
Speedometer is a "snapshot" based on CURRENT network conditions. I wouldn't expect them to score identically week after week. HOWEVER, I have always always always had it place slowest to fastest in the IDENTICAL ORDER week after week when they are tested within minutes of each other - THAT order is VERY important to me, I like to "squeeze the turnip". My LAN at work is the ONLY network I've ever had any browser score over 300. My brother has had a Mac score over 400 (but I have no use for Mac "computers").

Chrome browsers use your Operating System's "certificate store" - there are pros and cons to this. Firefox browsers use a "certificate store" independent of the Operating System - there are pros and cons to this also.
